When I passed by a bookstore some time ago, I saw a new book called It’s Better to Go. The author of the book is Li Zheyuan. Unexpectedly, I read it all in one go. This book mainly tells the story of Li Zheyuan's experience when he was admitted to Yale and then worked at Goldman Sachs for two years after graduation. From this book, I can see that Li Zheyuan's success is not casual. What's more important is that he understands what he wants, knows his goals, and works tirelessly to achieve his goals.

Admitted to Yale during middle school

As mentioned in the book, Li Zheyuan did not go to school in a big city with superior educational resources, and not many people went abroad to study at university at that time. Many people still choose to take the college entrance examination to go to domestic universities. Moreover, the foreign language school he attended has always had a tradition of recommending students, so Li Zheyuan, who had excellent grades, successfully won the recommended spot. Even if he took the college entrance examination, he could enter one of the best schools in the country. But Li Zheyuan was determined to go to a world-famous school in junior high school, so he started preparing for language exams and materials in high school, and followed the path that only a few people took in a planned and stipulated manner.

Little things about studying at Yale

It is not that you can enter a world-famous school because of your knowledge reserves. It is more about testing your talents, abilities, background resources, conditions and other aspects. The biggest difference I feel from the book is that in our country, we measure the excellence of Tsinghua and Peking University graduates by the jobs they find after graduation, while Yale University evaluates students by whether they do what they like after graduation. I feel very strongly about this. With modern cramming education and excessive pursuit of high-paying jobs, people have forgotten what they like and have become slaves to life.

No one’s success is casual

Behind Li Zheyuan’s success and excellence are extraordinary efforts. He has known since he was in junior high school that he wanted to go to a world-famous school. It can be seen that he has been strict with himself since he was a child, including doing things that few people could do at that time, and he told us such an inspiring and inspiring story.
